the eggs. Two parts of kerosene to one
of soul milk is a proper proportion. If
fresh milk is not at hand condensed
milk, diluted to the same strength,
may be employed. The mixture is sue
c~essfully used for the scale insect IN the
orange groves of Florida and can be, 1t

although emery stone is found IN
nearly all parts OF Asia Minor, and not
unfrequently in the remote and almost
inaccessible regions OF the interior,
where the natural obstacles are too
great to offer any Inducements TO
the miner, the principal mines are con-
fined to the districts OF Thyra and
Adm. These mines, says Consul Ste
vens of S nyTna, are the Tchavus. the
Hassan Tchavuslar, the Aladjali-Tchl-
fix, and Kourchak, the Hslka, b
Akdere and the Gurnush Dogh. There
is another mine neal Milassa, the stone
from which is brought Tor shipment to
a place on the coast called Kuluk, near
the Gulf of Mendalio, and IS either
shipped direct from that place to for
eign markets or brought to Smyrna In
sailing craft for reshipment. When
well picked and freed from unsound
ore and rubbish, the emery from the
Tchavus, Hassan Tchayuslar and
Aladjali- Tchi1ik mines is OF good and
nearly equal quality. The Akdere
stone is not so much sought after, while
that excavated near Milassa, the
largest part of which finds purchasers
in tie United States is of inferior quail
ty, the grain being smooth, and q con-
siderable quantity of magnetic iron
entering into its composition. The
amount OF stone annually shipI from
Smyrna to Great Britain, the United
States, France, Germany and Belgium
averages seven thousand tons, the rela-
tive quantity consumed in each country
being in the order named.

FARM VOTES

TURN up the soil In the poultry
yards and runs with either the spade OF
the pillow, This operation should be
faithfully performed at regular periods,
after the fowls excrements, that accu.
mulate where the birds are confined IN
small Enclosures, are removed. Poultry
will be much more thrifty when this
plan is adopted, and the grounds can
thus be kept more clearly; while the
process of turning the soil over, gives
the stock so confined a chance for fresh
gravel and loan, as well as a temporary
supply of larvae, worms, ETC., that come
to the surface through this means. In
places where the fowls are limited to
narrow quarters, or-as is often the
case-to their houses only, the floors
should be similarly treated frequently,
and the benefits attainable will more
than compensate the trouble occasioned
by this process. The very best way In
the country is to plowthe runs. There
is as much need of substituting the use
of the plow for the spade in the poultry
yard as in the garden. Some OF the
flower beds and hooks and corners of
the garden must be spaded, it is true;
but the plow and team facilitate garden
ing generally, and by the exercise of a
little ingenuity may be employed to
equal advantage In keeping the ground
in your poultry Enclosures fresh and
wholesome.

IL rain storms come just asthe wheat

missing In the places where they should
be. 1t rs generally the upper portion
of the ear that is thus destroyed. Quite
often a CT ,p that looks to be good will
be lessentd one.third to one.half in
thrashing. Some varieties have more
open heads than others, and are, there
fore, much liable to injury from this
cause. The Mediterranean wheat very
rarely sets as many grains as the head
has room for; but with dry weather,
when the wheat is in blossom, it some
times does so, and large crops are then
produced.

The only method of Kidding the dis
oased sheep of the scab Is to dip them
into a liquid which will penetrate and
soften the scabby portions, and even
then it is often necessary to rub these
places with something rough to open
the scabs and let the liquid take effect.
A sheep dip made of one ounce of sui
phur and four of tobacco to a gallon OF
water has been found very effective.
In the water, which should be at the
boiling point, steep tobacco stems or
leaves, and add the sulphur later; then
allow the liquid to cool down, when
the sheep may be immersed.

WA Madras Government is about Id

Tie Madras Government is about to
engage in the cultivation of jalap. IL
wa found that the plant grows very
well there, and some years ago a large
quantity of tubers were given to pri-
yate individuals in order to encourage
them to grow the remedy. But the
demand this year from the Madras
Medical Department was for 1900
pounds, and only 400 pounds could be
obtained. So the Government has de-
cided to cultivate jalap itself until such
time as private growers are In position
TO supply the demand.

a piano with case made entirely Of
paper is a recent German production.
As described thu color is a creamy
white; the tone is reported to be char
acterizsd by sweetness rather than
loudness, the sound emitted, unlike the
short, broken note of the ordinary
piano, being soft, full and slightly con-
tinuous, somewhat resembling that OF
the organ. This modifcAaon of tone,
which must be considered al attractive
feature, is attributed to the evenness OF
texture of the compressed paper.

a SUCCESSFUL English gardener
gives the following experience with the
gooseberry. 1t prefers a loose holding
soil, which readily imbibes but does
not retain much moisture. The plant
Is propagated by cuttings and should
be transplanted early in autumn, the
trees being ranged in lines. The trees
should be formed with single stems a
foot high, and the suckers, if any spring
up from the roots, should be carefully
removed. The ground in which the
bushes stand should be forked over once
a year, but only slightly, so as not to
disturb the roots. Manure should be
applied either as a top dressing or In
a liquid form. Powdered white helle-
bore is the only certain remedy for the
caterpillars which attack the plant.
